Secret Addictions Revealed

Neptune in Aquarius Test! How do you rate????by Cindy NauntonAstrologers have long attributed the influence of theplanet Neptune to addictions. Since January 29th,1998 addictive Neptune has entered the sign ofAquarius and will remain there for the next fifteenyears. This is the age of the internet, so we mayexpect addictions to show in that area of life too. Itseems that we are doing the very Aquarian thing ofeveryone being connected to everyone one else,without the usual social boundaries. That is, we formnetworks and chat lines all over the world. The usualsocial boundaries (Neptune) dissolve as we caninstantaneously link anywhere, anytime. In trueAquarian style we can merge and chat and meet onequal social terms. The image our words portray coulddissolve instantly "if my friends could see menow".... No one knows HOW you are dressed, letalone IF you are dressed! There is no call for socialgraces as we crunch away on chockie bars, munchhamburgers and other gastronomic delights with agraphic lack of table etiquette! We socialise like aGeek, with no memory of time, at any hour of the dayor night. After all it is a social hour SOMEWHEREin the world, even though it may be 3.30a.m. whereyou are.The sign of Aquarius is about withdrawal anddisconnection. The scene is this: you are just at thatcrucial stage of putting on the "hard drive". You feel asense of excitement as your energies link and merge.You have created a romantic illusion. The otherperson has just suggested "How about we " andthe line goes *poof*. You only have a code name like"Silver Cord", and there you are left in the lurch. Amessage appears that says, "disconnected: servertemporarily down", or "connection aborted by otherparty" or "try again later"!
